Meet Your Mentors
Olivia Giaccio
2x Olympian, World #1 Mogul Skier (2025-2026), Columbia Graduate
Olivia Giaccio is a two-time Team USA Olympian, 11-year member of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, and the world's #1 moguls skier in the 2025–26 season. Beyond the slopes, Olivia graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University with a degree in psychology and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.
Olivia's passion for mental performance training is deeply personal. Following an ACL injury in 2020, she struggled with self-doubt both in and out of competition. Working alongside sport psychologist Ellen Reed, she developed an individualized mental training program that transformed her approach to performance. Since then, she has navigated two Olympic qualifying cycles, overcome setbacks, and risen to the top of her sport—all while finding greater joy in the process.
Today, Olivia brings that firsthand experience to 1:1 mindset training. She is also pursuing a master's degree in social work at Columbia University and serves as a research assistant at the University of Utah's HEART Lab.
Outside of competition, Olivia is a member of the Protect Our Winters Athlete Alliance and an avid outdoor enthusiast. Her perfect day involves mountain biking, camping, and chasing sunsets.
Amy Wotovich is a Harvard graduate, nationally recognized springboard diver, TEDx speaker, and mental performance coach.
As the founder of Back The Team, Amy has personally interviewed more than 200 members of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, building an unprecedented collection of firsthand insights into how the world's best athletes train their minds to perform under pressure.
Amy brings the same curiosity and energy to the stage that she brings to her interviews. From private 1:1 coaching to keynote audiences of 1,000+, she works with individuals, sports teams, schools, and organizations to turn the psychology of elite performance into practical, repeatable skills. Reaching an audience of 1.2 million annually, Amy is on a mission to make mental performance training as accessible and actionable as physical training.
Outside of her work, Amy is an avid traveler and certified group fitness instructor. Her perfect day involves a cappuccino (or two!), fresh powder on the slopes, and lively dinner table conversation.
